Built by a Practitioner,
Not a Theorist
AI SEO Malaysia was founded by Adam Yong — a software engineer turned SEO specialist with over 20 years of experience and a Computer Science background. We do not just advise on AI visibility. We build the tools that make it measurable.
Our approach is grounded in published research, specifically the KDD 2024 study demonstrating 22-40% visibility improvements through evidence-based optimisation techniques. Every strategy we deploy has data behind it.

The Full Picture
I started in SEO back in 2004, when Google was still relatively straightforward. Over the next two decades, I watched search evolve from simple keyword matching to the complex, AI-driven ecosystem it is today. That progression shaped everything about how I approach optimisation.
My Computer Science background gave me something most SEO consultants do not have — the ability to build tools, not just use them. When I saw that AI-powered search was going to fundamentally change how businesses get discovered, I did not wait for someone else to create the monitoring tools. I built BrandPeek to track how large language models perceive brands in real time.
Then came Agility Writer, an AI content platform designed to produce the kind of authoritative, citation-worthy content that AI systems actually reference. And LocusPilot, which automates the entire process of creating SEO-optimised websites from scratch.
AI SEO Malaysia is the natural result of all that experience. It is where the engineering, the research, and the two decades of SEO practice come together into a focused service for businesses in Malaysia and beyond.
"I have always believed that the best SEO advice comes from people who build things. If you cannot build the tools, you are just guessing about how the systems work."

Two Decades of Building & Learning
The milestones that shaped our evidence-based approach to AI SEO.
SEO Career Begins
Started in search engine optimisation during the early days of Google, building a deep understanding of how search algorithms evaluate and rank content.
Application Engineering Focus
Combined software engineering with SEO knowledge to build tools that automate and scale search optimisation workflows.
BrandPeek Launched
Created BrandPeek, an AI-powered brand monitoring platform that tracks how large language models perceive and recommend businesses.
Agility Writer & KDD Research
Launched Agility Writer, an AI content platform, and adopted evidence-based methods from KDD 2024 research showing 22-40% AI visibility improvements.
LocusPilot & AI SEO Malaysia
Built LocusPilot, an AI website generator, and founded AI SEO Malaysia to help local businesses get recommended by ChatGPT, Google AI, and Perplexity.
We Build the Tools We Use
Most agencies recommend tools built by someone else. We build our own — which means we understand exactly how AI systems evaluate your business.
BrandPeek
Tracks how ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI perceive your brand. Monitors prompt responses across categories and locations so you know exactly where you stand.
Agility Writer
Generates SEO-optimised content at scale using evidence-based techniques. Built for teams that need high-quality, citation-worthy articles consistently.
LocusPilot
Creates production-ready websites from a single business factsheet. Handles structure, content, images, and deployment — so you can focus on running your business.
How We Work
Four principles that guide every engagement, every recommendation, and every report we deliver.
Evidence Over Opinions
Every recommendation we make is grounded in published research and measurable data. The KDD 2024 study is our north star — not gut feelings or industry hearsay.
Radical Transparency
You see exactly what we do, why we do it, and what it produced. Monthly reports include raw prompt test results, not just vanity metrics.
Build, Then Advise
We build the tools we use — BrandPeek, Agility Writer, LocusPilot. That means our advice comes from hands-on product experience, not theoretical frameworks.
Long-Term Partnerships
AI visibility is not a one-off project. We structure engagements around sustained monthly improvement because that is how AI recommendation systems actually work.
Grounded in
Published Research
Our methodology is not based on speculation. The KDD 2024 study — one of the first rigorous academic papers on Generative Engine Optimization — demonstrated that specific content and entity optimisation techniques produce measurable improvements in how AI systems cite and recommend businesses.
22-40% Visibility Improvement
Across Perplexity and ChatGPT citation metrics using evidence-based techniques.
4.4x Higher Conversion
AI referral traffic converts at 4.4 times the rate of traditional organic search traffic.
5 Proven Techniques
Specific, repeatable optimisation methods validated by academic research — not industry guesswork.
Why Kuala Lumpur,
Why Now
Malaysia is one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing digital markets. AI adoption across search, commerce, and content is accelerating rapidly — yet most Malaysian businesses have not adapted their online presence for AI-driven discovery.
That gap is the opportunity. Businesses that optimise for AI recommendations now will establish a significant advantage before the market catches up. We are based in Kuala Lumpur because this is where the opportunity is largest and most immediate.
Our location also means we understand the local context — the directories that matter, the review platforms customers use, the way Malaysian businesses operate across multiple languages and regions. That local knowledge matters when you are optimising for AI systems that cross-reference location-specific data.
